malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 04/29/2009 6:51 pm Here is my second request for help. Same type of coin and same type of picture problems. I could not get the fact that it has almost a mirror finish and what seems to be full luster to show up in the photos. It either would reflect the camera or turn too dark or too light. Same very strong polishing lines that do not flow through the design but under it so same question applies here. Is this part of minting process or a very good polishing effort after the fact. thanks for help malissa Report this Post to the Staff

Buzzard Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 04/29/2009 9:37 pm It looks to me like the lines are from when the die was polished. That is why they are most prominent on the fields - those are the highest part of the die. Under very high magnification, die polishing lines can be seen to be raised above the surface of the coin.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/30/2009 12:19 am Your coin doesn't look whizzed to me...you would see a boundary around the devices where the brush was stopped. Most of my NFLD 5c have very strong die polishing marks--that looks to be the case here. These are tough to grade from pics, but yours are good. I might guess AU55. Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 04/30/2009 12:36 am I do have a whizzed one somewhere...no pics tonight though. Another day. Btw, yours is the "Low 44, Low C" variety. A slightly higher CV in Charest than the high 44. Report this Post to the Staff
